Sisteni all the way through.

road is relieved from the possibility OF a
competing line on the proposed Air Line

western border of the county and the
river towns are better served for all pur-
poses than they can be otherwis..
If a railroad i 10 connect this town

line follows the Kennebec. the better
aud our theory is that. if there are no in
surmountshle engineering difficulties the
road should go from The Forks by the
most direct and shortest route 10 Moose
head Lake.
In our humble opinion, the Somerset
road and the lumber and business inter
ests of the kennebec River should pool
their issues on some equitable deal and
build road from Skowhesan to Moose
head at a very early day, and Skowhesan
business men and the town a. whole
would be gamers thereby. as well As all
the towns along the river and in Western
and Northern Somerset.
